News Stop: IPoor on Engadget Chinese!

Who says Singaporeans cannot innovate? A quick newsflash: The IPoor T-shirt designed by our resident contributor, Brian Ling aka Design Translator has been featured on Chinese Engadget blog. For those who have read the story behind this IPoor from the articles “The Art of the Very Small Start” Part I and II. Now for the actual news.

DT started his design on the IPoor T-shirt a month ago, and went on from concept to actual commercialization, that led to now him being featured on Engadget Chinese. Here are some excerpts from the Chinese article (unfortunately, it’s in Mandarin):

喜歡 iPod 的時尚感，卻又苦於阮囊羞澀的貧窮貴公子們有福囉！

國外某設計工坊巧妙地將 iPod 的造型與T恤結合，命名為 iPoor，商品口號為：「我愛死它了，但我真的好窮」。首批限量推出黑、白各50件，每件僅要價不到台幣500元（不含運費），怎麼算都是相當經濟實惠的超棒選擇。

Hey, from what I heard from DT over our recent chat, 40% of his stock is gone after the IPoor site launch on the first day.

For those who are interested in getting a IPoor T-Shirt, here is the IPoor site for you to do your online purchase.

Once again, we, in SG Entrepreneurs team, congratulate Brian for his achievements in turning an idea successfully into a business.
